It's May 4, and that means that Rogue One: The Battle of Scarif is now available for download! Again, please make sure that you already legally own a copy of Rogue One before downloading. This fan edit would not have been possible if it weren't for the actual film and all the people who worked hard to bring it to life.

There are two options available- torrent link and a direct download via MEGA. Remember, the torrent will go quicker as more people seed it! I may make additional options available soon, but the torrent and MEGA links should be enough for now. Visit the Downloads Page here.

The Battle of Scarif is just under 50 minutes long, making it a nice little companion piece to the original theatrical release. Alternatively, you could watch this right before A New Hope! The main point of this edit is to focus on the epic battle sequence from Rogue One, while also adding elements to make it fit in more with the other Star Wars films. This means, among other things:

An opening text crawl, which summarizes the events of Rogue One leading up to the battle of Scarif.

Insertion of several music cues from John Williams. About 50-60% of the film's score is now comprised of classic Star Wars cues.

Classic Star Wars sound effects added in certain places, along with a few old-school wipe transitions.

Other cuts and adjustments to scenes throughout the battle, either to fit the new music cues or to pace the film a bit differently. For example, there isn't as much back-and-forth cutting between all the different characters anymore. This may have originally been to make the film seem more exciting, but it also made it difficult to follow the action at times.

The film ends exactly as it did in the original version, making it a perfect segue into A New Hope.

Hopefully you enjoy this edit- AFTER you've made sure you own a copy of the original film, of course. And please leave comments or feedback!
